Library News The merger between LaConner's school and library district has been mothballed for the time being. Governing boards for the two districts decided last week to call off their rush to meet a mid-December filing deadline to include a bond measure on a February ballot to fund moving the library onto school property. The boards decided it makes sense to wait until December 2015, when the library's original $210,000 mortgage, taken on its Morris Street building, will be paid off.
